Summer Vacation by the Numbers

I was inspired by the monthly layouts that Melissa over at Daily Life - Bits & Pieces does every month. I think it's such a fun way to capture the month. I know myself pretty well and knew I would never keep up with the monthly numbers, but I knew it would be perfect for our summer trip.

We had a grand adventure in July. A car trip out west. We were able to see so many wonderful places that this great land offers and do many new activities.

Thanks so much for the link today. The last couple of weeks have been so busy, I haven't had much creative time & still need to do my July Month in Numbers. It totally made my day to see that my posts sparked some inspiration for you - great idea to use the numbers for the trip. (I, as usual, got the idea from other bloggers - love that about blogland - ideas spreading around the globe.)
